Come Over, Come Over by Lynda Barry

5.0

"This book is all against pollution, prejudice, and war." so say Maybonne and Marlys from the back cover of these collected late 80s works from Ms. Lynda Barry. And it is.... kind of. It's also about life getting beautiful, and then cruddy, and then beautiful again. In the magical style of Lynda Barry, Come Over, Come Over is about adolescence, parents, school, sneaking out, sex, and the making & breaking of juvenile friendships -- all subjects weighing heavily on my mind these days! Barry addresses some major thematic issues of childhood, from birthday parties & civil wars with siblings, to sexual assault & divorce. Big Ups for Lynda Barry all around!

My first book of June! What a way to start the month!
